Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Escuela De Rancho by Gerardo Ortiz from Spanish to English.
Con ganas de tirotear
Wanting to shoot
Le dice compadre al Chapo
He calls Chapo compadre
La sangre se me alborota
My blood rushes
Con este cuerno terciado
With this prickly horn
Todo queda pa'l corrido
Everything remains for the run
Y alístense pa' cantarlo
And get ready to sing it
No porque nos miren morros
Not because they look at us in the face
Piensen que somos tlacuaches
Think that we are opossums
Traemos muy buenas armas
We bring very good weapons
Los contras ya se la saben
You already know the cons
Y traemos buen billete
And we bring a good ticket
Que nos hace ver más grande
That makes us look bigger
Cuando el Chapo da luz verde
When El Chapo gives the green light
De volada armamos filas
We quickly set up lines
Y aunque brinquen el mandado
And even if they skip the errand
Podemos gastar las ligas
We can spend the leagues
A los güeros les encanta
The güeros love it
Que mandemos vitaminas
Let's send vitamins
No se me asusten plebada
Don't scare me, darling
No venimos a espantarlos
We don't come to scare them away
Viene la clika dispuesta
The clik comes ready
Para todo arremangarlo
For everything roll up your sleeves
Somos de escuela de rancho
We are from ranch school
Y aquí estamos pa' enseñarlos
And here we are to teach them
Los zopilotes huelen sangre
Vultures smell blood
Y te quieren comer vivo
And they want to eat you alive
Cuando uno está arrinconado
When one is cornered
Hay que enseñar los colmillos
You have to show your fangs
Siempre que se baja al agua
Whenever you go down into the water
Hay que ventear el peligro
We must vent the danger
Vienen de ranchos muy bravos
They come from very rough ranches
Sinaloa los ve llegar
Sinaloa sees them arrive
Los cuernos y las granadas
The horns and the pomegranates
Usamos pa' trabajar
We use to work
Y San Judas que nos cuida
And Saint Jude who takes care of us
Pa' la vida disfrutar
To enjoy life
De Culichi para Rivas
From Culichi to Rivas
Siempre los miran pasar
They always watch them pass
Lo sé porque este corrido
I know because it's running
Lo compuse por allá
I composed it there
Pues yo también soy de rancho
Well, I'm also from a ranch
Y les canto la verdad
And I sing the truth
Pariente, aquí está mi mano
Relative, here is my hand
La quiero felicitar
I want to congratulate her
Por la vida que manejan
For the life they lead
No le dan vuelo pa' atrás
They don't give you a flight back
Y pa' qué le entra al negocio
And why do you get into the business?
Y más billetes gastar
And more bills to spend
